What's the Deal on Deck?

Picture this: You're out on the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys, the sun's warming your face, and you've got a rod in your hand. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're all about putting you on the fish. We'll be hitting up some prime reef and wreck spots where the grouper and snapper love to hang out. It's not just about dropping a line and hoping for the best - our crew will show you the tricks of the trade to up your game. And hey, if you're itching for a real challenge, we might just take a shot at some of those bigger boys like Goliath Grouper or Sharks. It's a hands-on experience, so get ready to bait your own hook, feel that tug, and reel in your catch. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through it all, making sure you're comfortable and having a blast.

Reelin' in the Big Ones

When it comes to reef and wreck fishing, it's all about knowing where to drop your line and what to use. We'll be using a mix of live bait and cut bait to entice those bottom-dwellers. Expect to do some bottom fishing with heavy tackle - it's the best way to get down to where the grouper and snapper are hiding out. We might throw in some drift fishing too, depending on the conditions. Our gear is top-notch - we're talking sturdy rods and reliable reels that can handle whatever decides to bite. And don't sweat it if you're not sure how to tie a knot or bait a hook - our mate's got you covered. They'll show you how to work the rod, set the hook, and bring in your catch like a pro. It's not just about catching fish; it's about learning the ropes and feeling like a real Florida Keys angler.

Anglers Can't Stop Talking

"Amazing time - definitely will be back" - Anthony

"Beautiful day. Thank you Doc and George." - Pippi

"Capt. George knows fishing! We went out with a small group of 4 and we on fish right away. Not of us were skunked and his mate was spot on. Highly recommend Capt. George if you want to catch fish. We will be a constant return customer." - Pete

Fish on the Hit List

Mutton Snapper: These guys are the rockstars of the snapper world out here. They're known for their pinkish-red color and that distinctive black spot near the tail. Muttons can grow up to 30 pounds, but even the smaller ones put up a great fight. They love to hang around reefs and wrecks, and they're suckers for live bait. The best part? They taste amazing. Spring and early summer is prime time for muttons, but we catch them year-round. When you hook one, get ready for some serious pull - these fish don't give up easily!

Gag Grouper: Now, if you're looking for a real heavyweight, gag grouper is your fish. These bruisers can top out at over 50 pounds, and they're not afraid to use every ounce of that muscle. Gags love structure, so we'll be targeting them around the wrecks and rocky bottom areas. They're ambush predators, so when you feel that thump, you better be ready to crank. The season for gags can be limited, but when it's on, it's on. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of winning the tug-of-war with a big gag and seeing it come up from the depths.
